TWO POSITIONS - MOLECULAR GENETICIST AND BIOCHEMIST
The Biology Department of Franklin & Marshall College invites
applications for TWO VISITING ASSISTANT PROFESSOR POSITIONS, starting
July 2007. Candidates should have a Ph.D., demonstrated strength in
teaching and research, and ability to engage undergraduates in
research. (1) MOLECULAR GENETICIST, three year position. Teaching
responsibilities include lecture and laboratory sections of a
junior-level core course in molecular genetics and an upper level
elective in molecular biology. The successful candidate may
occasionally contribute to the general education curriculum. (2)
BIOCHEMIST, one year position (pending administrative approval).
Teaching responsibilities include lecture and laboratory sections of
a junior-level biochemistry course emphasizing metabolism and either
a sophomore-level core course in physiology and development of plants

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and in Biological Foundations of
Behavior. Applicants should arrange to have letters sent from 3
referees and should submit a curriculum vitae, plans for actively
